Volume 13 Who's Ups and Downs Chapter 311 Caesar's Civil Strife
Chapter 411: Caesar's Civil Strife
In the capital division, there was a song and dance, and no one remembered that only a year ago, it was still under the ravages of the Huns.
One year, in the course of this year, the Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Forcing Caesar to retreat and exterminate the Xiongnu, the people of the northern Han Dynasty were surprised to find that in just one year, they had risen from the slaves who had fallen half of the country to the citizens of the first power in the continent.
Their hearts were full of pride, especially the people in the Jingshi, who were even more convinced by Xu Haifeng, who had created this great miracle, and the Liu family, after the last prince was coerced by the commander of the Qilin Legion and stayed away from the mainland, they no longer cared about them.
The palace of the Han Dynasty, under Su Chunwei's overnight work, was finally barely delivered two months ago, but today's scale is far less magnificent than in the past, and continuous repairs in the future are inevitable.
And the biggest difference is that the occupants inside have changed from Liu to Xu.
After Xu Haifeng returned from the south, he took his family and lived directly in the palace. His intentions are well known to all.
I hurried back because many grassland peoples in the north sent envoys to Beijing at the same time.
At about the same time, the Caesars, who were far away in the west, also sent a second group of envoys to Beijing.
The messenger of the Caesar was none other than Ardis of the House of the Rhine.
At this time, Caesar's territory was already tense, and the contradictions between the Holy See and the royal family had reached the point of irreconcilability, and both sides did everything for their own interests.
However, at this critical time, as the head of the second family of Caesar's Empire, he went to the East, not so much as as a messenger, but because he did not want to participate in the troubled waters of the country.
"General Addis, it's been a long time since we met."
After the state banquet, Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming personally met with Ardis in the imperial study of the palace.
"Yes, General Xu, His Majesty wants me to come and convey his cordial greetings to you." Ardis was still as old as ever, and there was no grin on his face.
"Your Majesty? Is that Your Majesty? Xu Haifeng asked with a smile.
There are two Majesties in Caesar's Empire, one is Julius Caesar, and the other is naturally His Majesty the Pope. Although the previous pope died at the hands of the Assassins during the Crusades. However, a new successor was quickly chosen.
If not, how could the leaderless Holy See be able to confront the scheming Julius Caesar?
Ardis hesitated for a moment and said, "Naturally, it's Julius Caesar." ”
"Oh......"
The two people who held the most power in the Han Empire glanced at each other, and just such a short sentence made them understand a lot of things.
In the territory of Caesar, it should be the power of the imperial power that occupies a certain upper hand, at least, in the hearts of the successors of Caesar's second family, they are still optimistic or more biased towards Julius Caesar.
"I wonder what good news the Venerable Julius Caesar has brought you?" Jiang Kongming took a step forward and asked with a smile.
Although Jiang Kongming is not the first supreme of the Great Han, I am afraid that no one in this world dares to offend him easily, not even Ardis does not dare, after all, the name of the demon path has spread all over the world.
"Wise Master Chiang, Julius Caesar has ordered me to bring me the most sincere friendship."
"The most sincere friendship?"
"Yes, the Venerable Emperor wants to marry your country...... According to your country's words, it is a country of brothers. ”
"Ah, that's wonderful, General Addis, our two kingdoms are the friendliest brotherly states." Jiang Kongming laughed without changing his face.
Ardis was stunned, and looked at Jiang Kongming unexpectedly, what is the most friendly brotherly state. This guy is clearly talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Dahan and Caesar have just gone through a life-and-death battle.
Although it has not yet reached the point of not dying, it has nothing to do with friendship in any case.
His lips twitched slightly, and he smiled reluctantly, not talking.
Jiang Kongming shook his head secretly, Caesar's great change still did not change this person's stubborn personality, he was really not a suitable diplomatic candidate.
Xu Haifeng looked at him and suddenly asked, "General Adis, did you take the initiative to ask for the envoy to Dahan, or did someone entrust you?" ”
Addis looked up at Xu Haifeng in surprise, and after a while, he finally said: "No, General Xu, in fact, I also know that I don't have any talent for diplomacy, but this time, what we brought was sincerity, not lies, so I came......"
Xu Haifeng laughed and said, "General Adis, of course I believe you. ”
After the Huns lost his hand, Ardis did not break his promise, he would rather be a slave of Xu Haifeng in humiliation, and did not think of escaping, until Catherine ransomed him to Caesar with 2,000 fine war horses, which was considered to be a restoration of freedom.
is so trustworthy, so although he seems a little pedantic, he has won the trust of Xu Haifeng and others because of this.
"Thank you, General Xu."
"Does Julius Caesar have any other advice than to ask the general to bring a message of peace?"
"Yes." Seeing that Xu Haifeng no longer asked, Ardis was also relieved, and said, "The Emperor hopes to maintain good trade contacts with your country and ......"
Ardis talked in detail for a long time before stopping, and when he saw Xu Haifeng, his faces showed a slight look of surprise, and he couldn't help but turn red on the ground, and said: "General Xu, Jiang Junshi, in fact, the specific candidates for discussion are still in the envoy group. I'm just talking about something general. ”
Xu Haifeng and the two looked at each other and smiled, this guy is so honest, if he really lets him talk, it will be strange.
At that moment, Jiang Kongming snorted and said, "General Adis can rest assured, since you personally led the team here, we will give you this face no matter what." All the specific matters will be left to the following people to discuss. As for a few of our old friends, let's get together. From tomorrow onwards, how about letting Qin Yong accompany the general to have a good walk around the Beijing Division? ”
Ardis's face changed, and he clearly remembered the fierce appearance of the Big Mac, and he shuddered involuntarily, and hurriedly said: "Jiang Junshi's kindness has been understood, but Ardis is like an arrow, and he is really not in the mood to play, please forgive me." ”
"Huh? Why did the general just come and leave, could it be that he disliked us for not being well entertained? Jiang Kongming's face was not angry.
Addis shook his head again and again, "No, it's just ......"
Xu Haifeng stood up suddenly, and said: "General Addis, it's rare to come to Beijing once, if you can't have fun, won't it make people all over the world laugh and ask Xu Haifeng if he didn't entertain his good friends?" Besides, after February, it is Xu's big day, so I would like to invite General Addis to watch the ceremony on behalf of your country. ”
Addis Daqi asked, "General Xu's big day?" ”
"Exactly." Jiang Kongming said with a smile: "After February, it will be the time when my lord will be invited by the ministers to ascend to the throne. Originally, I wanted to inform your country, but the road is far away, and this time it will be difficult to come and go in February. Fortunately, General Addis is a coincidence that you are enough to represent your country. ”
Ardis opened his mouth, he never thought that he would run into this big event.
Jiang Kongming's face sank suddenly, and he said: "General Adis, this is the most important event in my lord's life, since our two countries are like brothers, then I have to invite you to watch the ceremony no matter what." Otherwise, if it spreads, it will not be plain and provocative. ”
Addis smiled bitterly, although he really didn't want to stay, but at this moment, how could he tolerate his decision to resign.
Seeing Adis's helpless figure disappear outside the door.
The smile on Xu Haifeng's face faded, and he asked softly, "What does Catherine's letter say?" ”
No one thought that after the great war between the two countries, the secret correspondence between Jiang Kongming and Catherine did not end up in this decision, but became more frequent.
Jiang Kongming shook his head and sighed: "Catherine will marry Abu Solon, the second son of Julius Caesar, next month. ”
"Second Prince?" Xu Haifeng also frowned, and said, "Is the Rhine family also on the side of Julius Caesar?" ”
"It should be," Jiang Kongming said lightly, "Catherine's letter asks us to try to stay in the territory of Dahan for two months. ”
"Their civil war is finally about to begin."
"Yes, it's just that Catherine made a choice at this time, which is really unexpected......"
"Could it be that Caesar's civil war would have ended so soon?" Xu Haifeng muttered, he wasn't asking anyone, he just felt a little unwilling.
"Otherwise, the power of the Holy See is deeply rooted, and if Julius Caesar wants to uproot it, it will not be effective in the short term. Not for more than ten or twenty years, he doesn't even think about it. Jiang Kongming smiled disdainfully, for the Caesars, he could be regarded as a thorough study.
"Ten or twenty years, what about us?"
Jiang Kongming smiled bitterly and said, "We are only afraid of more troubles, and we are still a little nervous after ten or twenty years." ”
"Yes, in that case, Master Soldier, do you still insist that everything should be done step by step and slowly?" Xu Haifeng asked suddenly.
"Yes, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and some things are indeed impatient."
"Aren't you afraid that the Caesar will recover first?"
"Hehe...... Jiang Kongming smiled gloomily, and there was an indescribable weirdness in his voice: "Since we are also just as nervous, then, let's drag them out." ”
"What?"
"The Mediterranean Sea is the hinterland of the Caesars." Jiang Kongming said slowly: "Then, let's stick a knife in their abdomen." ”
